VA GUBE: McDonnell By Double Digits
While we don't find robocalls particularly reliable, and we caution against putting too much faith in these numbers, but we're highlighting the latest Rasmussen Reports survey of the VA gubernatorial race because we have seen so few polls out of the Commonwealth with less than two months until the June 9 primary.
The Rasumussen poll shows Republican Bob McDonnell with double digit leads over each of his Democratic rivals.
McDonnell is ahead of former Del. Brian Moran by 10 points, 44 percent to 34 percent.
Terry McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, trails McDonnell by 12 points, 45 percent to 33 percent.
State Sen. R. Creigh Deeds of Bath County trails McDonnell by 15 points, 45 percent to 30 percent.
The poll echoes a survey released last week by Daily Kos showing McDonnell's favorable ratings also higher than those of the Democrats running. Daily Kos had McDonnell's favorable/unfavorable numbers at 48 percent/31 percent.
The latest survey -- remember not to take too much stock in the results -- shows 58 percent of those polled have a favorable view of McDonnell, while 16 percent rate him unfavorably and 26% are undecided.
